Marci is in charge of a project team. In order to meet the deadline given to her team, she establishes critical checkpoints during the process to help her determine if she is on track or off track versus her team’s final deadline. What type of control is Marci utilizing?
  1. Feedforward
  2. Concurrent
  3. Feedback
  4. Loop
Explanation
Answer: B - Marci is using concurrent control since she is checking the process during the actual implementation of the process.

Key Takeaway: Concurrent controls amplify the amount of feedback obtained about a process and provide that feedback in a timely manner since checks are done throughout the process instead of simply at the beginning or end points. In order to use concurrent control effectively, it is sometimes necessary for managers to establish checkpoints ahead of time so that these can be used to trigger the control process during a project.
